Sophie Cachia

She may be most well-known by her prolific public profile as ‘The Young Mummy’, but Sophie Cachia is just about one of the most gutsy, get-up-and-go, no-bullshit young women we’ve ever met. She presents a refreshingly relatable perspective not often seen online. She’s a shining example of the every-day wonder-woman, giving an honest, real, brutal, laugh-out-loud, relatable voice to all mum’s and young women out there.

She describes it as ‘boobs, pubes & all’ – keeping it as real as they come, telling it like it is on everything in the life of a mum, wife and young woman.

“I’m very confident and honest in who I am; I’m a mum but I’m also a 26-year-old-young woman. I run my own race. I’m just Sophie and I love what I do,” she says.

While following in her father’s footsteps on her path to a high-flying career in the media, Sophie found motherhood. She became a proud mum to son Bobby at the age of 23. After becoming quite overwhelmed with the vast amount of information on offer for new mothers, Sophie decided it was best to start documenting her own story, and her own experiences. She created a space newto social media – where people could come and openly discuss their highs and lows, without the need to feel pressured to conform to society’s expectations of what a mother should be.

A brilliant wordsmith, Sophie took to her blog to discuss pregnancy, motherhood and everything in between. Little did she know her hobby of writing and sharing her experiences would lead her to become an Australian media sensation, with big-wigs the likes of Mamma Mia requesting her writing prowess. Her following also grew exponentially, with over 250K fans now a part of her ever-growing tribe. She was not only loved for her honesty, wit and grit but she also became highly influential and inspirational, with an incredible number of aspiring ‘mum bloggers’ following in her footsteps.

Despite her popularity, Sophie remains as genuine and as humble as they come, still in disbelief that her online tribe continues to grow.

“I’m very determined, but I’m also really grounded, and I still genuinely sit there and think “why are there all these hundreds of thousands of people following me?”

With a growing media presence, Sophie steps away from her mummy duties and keyboard to regularly undertake roles such as guest speaking, ambassadorships, MC’ing and her recent gig on FM radio. With a passion for media stemming from childhood, she’s a born natural. She’s scored panel positions alongside celebrity mumma’s Mia Freedman and Zoe Foster Blake, and featured regularly on KISS FM with Monty & Meshel in 2016.

Media appearances aside, Sophie is passionate about using her platform to benefit others, developing a strong interest in charities, especially in the fields of children and mental illness.

“I recently threw my Baby Shower, but used the event as a fundraiser for St Kilda Mums. I went into it with the hope of raising $50k for disadvantaged families & children, and we did it! It’s been the most amazing feeling and only fueled my desire to do more charity work.”

Sophie is due to give birth to her second bub in early 2017 – stay tuned for more Keeping Up With The Cachias!

Sophie has previously been an ambassador for Holden Australia, Netball Victoria and Liptember, and is searching for more challenges, opportunities and wonderfully inspiring individuals to work with. She is available for broadcasting, writing commissions, photoshoot collaborations, MC work and ambassador roles.

I would rather individually pluck every single one of my nostril hairs out with tweezers than have sex right now.
Never let anybody else define the person you are. Although frowned upon, it’s not illegal to call your toddler an asshole. Don’t be afraid of being different. Be afraid of being the same as everybody else. There should be one road for fuckwit drivers, and then one road for me. Real friends are the ones that want to see you fly. When we get back to the hotel room, I’m going to destroy the mini-bar more than I’ve ever destroyed you Jaryd. Confidence isn’t walking into a room and thinking you’re better than somebody else. It’s walking into that room and not having to compare yourself to anyone else in the first place. I wish that I could be a wombat. So I could just wiggle my fat ass all day and sleep. You don’t know the real meaning of success, until you’ve changed a diarrhea nappy without waking the baby. Embrace the booty. You were born to be real, not to be perfect. I love it when women love themselves. I love it when women are learning to love themselves. I love it when women inspire other women to love themselves. Health is not about what you’re eating. It’s also about what you’re thinking and saying. In order to look after a baby, you must first look after yourself. Stay focused and extra sparkly! There’s not such thing as too much leopard. Because she competes with no one, no one can compete with her.
